#3 Paul Heyman lied to Brock Lesnar about his conversation with The Big Show

In November 2002, Paul Heyman betrayed Brock Lesnar at Survivor Series to help The Big Show win the WWE Championship from his client.

The final episode of SmackDown before Survivor Series saw Heyman speak to both superstars backstage. The former SmackDown General Manager begged The Big Show not to call Lesnar out, but that is not what he told The Next Big Thing.

“I handled it,” Heyman said to Lesnar. “I did it my way and I handled it. Everything’s gonna be okay. You see what I did for you? I went over to The Big Show’s locker room, I walked right in and I looked that Neanderthal right in the eye, and I told The Big Show exactly what I thought of him.”

Lesnar and The Big Show both ignored Paul Heyman’s words of advice throughout the show. The WWE Championship rivals brawled outside the ring in the closing segment of SmackDown, resulting in Lesnar attacking his opponent with a steel chair.

Heyman also claimed to Lesnar earlier in the episode that The Big Show was intimidated by his intelligence. In reality, he nervously thanked the seven-footer after their conversation and quickly scurried out of his locker room.
